How Pacemaker Implantation is performed
Pacemaker implantation is performed under sterile conditions, with optional sedation or general anesthesia. Depending on body size and venous conditions, a lead is placed through a vein into the heart chamber and connected to a generator, or an epicardial electrode is fixed surgically; intraoperatively, threshold testing and basic programming are performed under fluoroscopy and ECG monitoring. Postoperative observation of heart rhythm, lead stability, and incision is performed, and daily activities are gradually resumed. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocol.
